Year Completed:   2014
Value: $250,000
Architect:   Tony Tradewell

This beautiful exterior renovation was designed exclusively for our clients to entertain guests and family.

The Challenges

One of the biggest challenges on this exterior renovation was constructing the fountain wall that separated the pool from the driveway.

This challenge required making it look unique and visually aesthetic from both sides while accommodating the electrical and plumbing within.

The pergola style outdoor grilling area presented it’s own challenges but was not a problem for Flanigen Builders.

Value: $250,000

The Challenges

Custom made asymmetrical concrete pads outline this exquisite outdoor area. Each pad is covered in travertine tiles and help create the artistic abstract. Flanigen Builders created a large and elegant granite fire feature to accentuate the style of this area.

One of the biggest challenges was the build of the outdoor living area. This space included a grill area, sink, an outdoor TV, cozy fireplace, and a walk in shower and bath. The entire area was accented with custom cabinetry.

Caney Lake

Client:   Private
Location:   Caney Lake, LA
SQFT Area: 3900 ft2
Year Completed:   2016
Value: $580,000
Architect: Ray Bendily

The Features

This home on Caney Lake showcases beautiful exterior and interior stone work. The gourmet kitchen features double islands, custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, and pendant lighting. The master walk-in closets are top-of-the-line with custom built-ins and pull down rods. The wife’s closet, however, is the showstopper with a large island and chandelier.

Like many of Flanigen Builders’ homes, this home is equipped with a whole home water filtration system. This Environmental Water System (EWS) removes all impurities through a medical grade charcoal filter that only needs to be replaced every 7-10 years. Our clients rave about this product!

This home takes full advantage of the beautiful lake view with its inviting outdoor living area. The tongue and groove stained wood vaulted ceilings are accented with large cypress beams. The kitchen area is constructed with cypress and stone and finished off with granite counter tops. A grand stone fireplace provides warmth and great atmosphere on chilly evenings.

Year Completed:   2009
Value: $800,000
Architect:   R. L. Hott

This beautiful home on Phillips Bayou in Monroe has custom wood doors that open to a marble foyer to greet its guests. A curved wood and wrought iron staircase ascends to the spacious second floor as arched openings lead to the formal areas of this home.

The Challenges

The large gourmet kitchen is a cook’s dream with its large island, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops. It opens to the den area with custom built-ins, fireplace, and large windows that overlook the outdoor living area and bayou. Other amenities of this home include custom built closets, detailed tile work in the showers, a private office off of the master suite, and a sitting area with fountain.

The most challenging aspect of this project was preserving the live oaks that graced the front of this property. Great care was taken to ensure the life of these majestic trees would continue for years to come.

Innovations

This custom home sits deep on a grassy lot and boasts a beautiful brick and cedar façade. Since the property runs along the levee, the home has a post-tension slab to provide further stability to the foundation. 

An extensive amount of brick work details various interior areas of the home. From the fireplace to arched openings, much thought was given to the design aspects surrounding the clients’ desire for added masonry. 

An open floor plan allows the wood of the box beams in the kitchen to flow to the living and dining areas. Custom cabinetry graces nearly every room to provide a continuity in design throughout the home. 

As the initial home plans did not include an outdoor kitchen and living area, Eddie accommodated the clients’ needs by extending the back of the garage. This new area became the clients’ favorite part of their home. A high vaulted ceiling provides a large covered area which contains a custom kitchen, TV, and plenty of seating.

Value: $860,000
Architect:   Larry James

This grand home sits alongside Bayou DeSiard in Monroe and showcases beautiful designs throughout. The exterior stucco and stone facade is graced by stone balustrades at the entrance as a stately circular drive adds to the beautiful curb appeal of this home.

Upon entering the home, large arched openings invite you into the formal living areas that are graced with beautiful lighting and flooring. One opening leads to another as you enter the gourmet kitchen with all of the amenities a chef could desire. Custom built-ins are throughout the home accommodating all of the clients’ needs. Of course, the bathrooms are not to be outdone. Each has its own detailed tile work and personality.

As with any waterfront home, an outdoor living area looks over the bayou. Complete with a grilling area and fireplace, the outdoor oasis provides a wonderful atmosphere for entertaining or simply enjoying life. 

The Challenges

A challenging aspect of this project was the ceiling heights. Each room has not only a different height but a different finish as well. Though this adds a great deal to the beauty of the home, it took careful planning and execution to complete.

The Challenges

Our clients wanted to remain on their existing property but were tired of the upkeep and poor design of their older home. Flanigen Builders came in and completely removed the old home from the property to create a blank canvas.

The most challenging part of the construction of this home was the installation of the massive solid wood beams in the living room. This timely effort was well worth it. These beams which spanned 20 feet became a beautiful focal point for this home.
